How It Works

Melinda offers the option of coming to your home or hosting in hers. Simply gather 2 or more people, and she'll tailor a class to your group's interests. Class participants will not only make a dish or meal together during the class, but also sit down and eat together to enjoy the fruits of their labor – yes, pun intended ;).

Rates start at $115/person

Recommendations

For the full experience, pair your group class with a personalized Farmer's Market Tour right before. This way, you'll be able to shop for and learn about all the ingredients with Melinda. (Read more about the Farmer's Market Tours here.)

You can also choose to add an additional guided palate-training and Q&A with the Chef after the class, while you are enjoying your meal.

Private Classes

Whether you want to train your palate, become more comfortable in your kitchen, or hone your knife skills, Melinda can help you find joy in cooking and eating. Melinda believes that the kitchen doesn't have to be a daunting place, and hopes that, through a private lesson, she's able to help make that a reality for her clients.
